Well I am totally confused.

When I was in labour with my son I did think that maybe it would have been nice if we hadnt have found out the sex. Hubby and I talked about it afterwards and both decided that it would be nice to wait untill the end next time.
As soon as I fell pregnant we both changed our mind and said we would like to know asap.
I was so sure this was the right choice and was really looking forward to my scan in 2 weeks untill last night.
We both looked at each other (while watching obem) and said shall we keep it a surprise. This will be our last pregnancy and we think that we found out last time so maybe we should experience both sides and wait until the end this time.

Hubby cut the cord last time and we are thinking that if we have a surprise hubby can be the one to tell me if bubs is a little miss or little mr and I can cut the cord.

Anyway i am babbling. Just wondering if anyone else is flipping from wanting to know to not being sure????

We are definitely finding out, never had a moment where we have hesitated on this (although I can understand why it is a nice idea). We are just to impatient! And also on a more practical level, as we have DD's old clothes in the loft I need to know whether to get them down and wash them all

Good luck in making a decision! x

we have never swayed either i know lots of people like the surprise but i am too impatient and too practical so we will def be finding out next week , cant wait , i found it easier to bond to be honest knowing what we were having and choosing a name and thinking of my son rather than baby .. its different for everybody though and lots of people prefer the idea of the excitement at the end , i couldnt cope with the excitement of knowing aswell as trying to get the baby out lol

We had a surprise and will this time. Left to my own devices I'd find out as I'm impatient but hubby likes the surprise so I wont rob him of that. Last time I was CONVINCED DD was a boy. So when she came out and hubby said "its a girl We've got a little girl, is she grace?" (It was written in my plan that hubby were to tell me) I was gobsmacked and overjoyed and it was amazing a real buzz. I can totally get finding out as would kinda like to but I dont think finding out before can compare to finding out after labour- there are loads of other benefits to finding out but I think the feeling of discovery is much more once you've gone through all that hard work. If you see what I mean. I also quite like the fact that it was something hubby discovered first. So much of a pregnancy is mostly revolved around the mum so to let him be the first to know and the one to tell me was pretty amazing x

mummy2grace your post just made me cry :lol: stupid ruddy hormones.
that is also similar to what we thought. Everything is something that I experience and he tags along for but for him to be the first to see if we have a son or a daughter and to tell me would be pretty amazing.
Think I may be turning to team yellow.

your post has bought tears to my eyes lol- what on earth. I can totally get finding out and I would love to know but will still not find out lol. On a practical level we're fortunate we have loads of neutral stuff from last time, BUT if we didnt a pack or two of white baby grows for asda would see us through the first day or two and we had sooooo many newborn clothes as gifts x

Ha ha, you pair of wet saps!! xx

Sorry, G/C but wait wait wait!! I was desperate to know what I was having but hubby refused to even consider finding out. At my 20 week scan I tried so hard to guess and it drove me mad. All of the way through my pregnancy we thought we were having a boy because everyone who commented said 'oh your bump is at the front that means boy'. Then when my dd popped out and hubby shouted 'its a girl!' it was the most amazing moment. I burst into tears and responded with 'oh its a girl, a girl!' and the midwife laughed at the pair of us for being so sappy! It was a surprise for everyone else because everyone thought we would have a boy. Telling my mum and dad was wonderful too because they were desperate for a granddaughter! Wait, its brilliant honest! x

I want to know because I'm impatient but hubby doesn't so it'll be a surprise for us!
I think my desperation to know will keep me going through labour so that's a good thing and I agree with others will be lively to have hubby tell me.

We have also decided not to find out as we're still very nervous something will go wrong and if we knew what it was and had decided on a name it would be more difficult to deal with. Bit negative but that's the way I am.

Still very jealous of people getting to find out and it won't stop me guessing! At least it's a 50/50 chance- got to be one or the other!!

I'm so glad OH and I agree on this! x

We, too, are finding out. We did last time and hubby felt like it helped him bond with our baby better, knowing it was our son in there!
We are very nosy (if the sonographer knows then we want to know!) and practical people and I'm almost annoyed that I can't get any of the sales bargains now, but have to wait another 5 weeks...
I must admit I would be worried about hubby having to dash out to buy baby clothes (or even use the washing machine to wash our sons bits lol) in case I had to stay in hospital for whatever reason!
Very much each to their own though and I started off this pregnancy thinking I wouldn't mind not finding out this time, but now the time can't go by fast enough!

On a related note: FiL does not want to know till the birth so we cannot tell anyone in hubby's family or announce it on Facebook - How annoying!
